As easy on the eye as it is to set up, Axentra has put together a truly impressive
combination of and kit at a bargain price. Smaller than your average PC, and more attractive than an notebook , this is where servers and chic collide . There are three appliances in s range, tailored for use at home or work, with the 400 at the top of the tree. The casing is white, opaque plastic front through which three lights indicate power and network activity. Under the hood there' s an Sempron 2600 + processor, 512MB of and a 200GB hard disk. These are conservative specs, they' re enough to drive the 400's customised OS, and plugging a USB drive into one of the rear-ounted ports will quickly and seamlessly-expand your storage. The 400 is built for teams of up to 50 people , and provides a range of network services. The most obvious is the web server, which ties in to a range of dynamic IP services so you can host an unlimited number of domains from home. To get you going, throws in a domain (.com or .org) of your, a year's subscription to TZO' s 1P management. Beyond that, though, it' s an IMAP mail server and LDAP directory server, a DHCP server, a firewall, a virus killer, a spam filter, a print server and a wireless hub, and costs less than f700. Installation is a doddle thanks to a thought-out wizard that launches when you it on, after which you plug it into a consumer or D la V : CCC business broadband line. We tested it usinga f17.99 per month without a fixed IP address ,and stiil found that at the sites we were hosting under a desk et home actually loaded quicker than those being stored by professional third-party hosting companies. The onty slight downside is that the web server is a little basic. As a security precaution , only users with administrator rights can host PHP scripts, and even then, more demanding applications.
